Responsible Down Standard (RDS) Certification

Lack of traceability and animal welfare assurance can lead to audit failures, reputational damage, and lost business opportunities.

At Dadisha Pvt Ltd, we help you achieve Responsible Down Standard compliance through structured consulting, audit preparation, and end-to-end certification support—so you can meet global expectations with confidence.

What is Responsible Down Standard (RDS) Certification?

The Responsible Down Standard is a global animal welfare certification developed by Textile Exchange.

It ensures that down and feathers used in products come from animals that are treated humanely, without practices like live-plucking or force-feeding.

The standard also requires a verified chain of custody (CoC) across the textile supply chain—so you can trace materials from farm to final product and prove compliance through third-party audits.

What This Service Solves?

• Inability to prove animal welfare compliance in down sourcing
• Lack of chain of custody (CoC) across the textile supply chain
• Risk of audit failures and certification delays
• Poor supplier compliance and verification systems
• Limited traceability and documentation control
• Exposure to fraudulent claims and reputational risks
